If people could get antibiotics on demand, the antibiotics would stop working a lot sooner...

Mind you, penicillin is cheap and widespread enough that we could probably hand that out.

We could, but we shouldn't because there's already too much superbacteria that are resistant to penicillin. Antibiotics should NEVER be handed out.
